Understanding The SIM
Understanding the Indonesian Driving License (SIM) for Foreigners
For expatriates living in Indonesia, possessing a valid driving license is not just a convenience but a legal necessity. In 2026, the requirements for obtaining a SIM remain consistent for foreigners, often requiring a KITAS (Kartu Izin Tinggal Terbatas) or KITAP (Kartu Izin Tinggal Tetap) to apply for a local license. The process involves passing theoretical and practical tests at the local police station.
